Yes, I know that Data.
Worldnet does use CHAP, but the problem is, that my PC is sending the
server a LCP rejection of "auth chap". This results in me not getting
authenticated, and thus as soon as I try to do something, the connection
drops. I am wondering how I can get my pc to talk chap. I tried the
+chap option in the options file, but that made things worse.
I previously had a connection on the same box with the same software
working, going to internetMCI, but I ended up reinstalling linux, and
when I went to reconfiure for AT&T, I couldnt get it back up. Somewhere,
I'm missing some little thing, and I can't seem to figure out what it is.
